Dust can come from almost any source, including manufacturing and work materials; paints and varnishes used on walls and furniture; cleaners; and food stuffs. Although the amount of dust in work spaces varies by industry, any amount can pose a health and safety issue. Dust in the air can cause or exacerbate upper respiratory issues. It can also cause serious short-term or long-term illnesses, such as skin rashes, autoimmune problems, and cancer if the dust contains heavy metals, chemicals or mold. The key to staying safe in a dusty workplace is to limit the amount of dust that enters your body. Step 1 Follow the safety instructions provided on the labels for any dust-producing materials that you work with. Also, pay attention to safety or warning signs in your work area and outlined in your company’s safety documentation at all times. Employers create these instructions and warnings to help you stay safe. For example, a warning sign may show a picture of a mask to remind you to wear a respirator. Step 2 Wear protective gear if dictated by your work situation. For example, if you work in construction or with materials that produce dust, wear safety goggles or glasses that feature side shields or wrap-around frames to protect your eyes. Put on a dust-filtration mask to protect your sinuses, mouth and lungs. If the particles contain harmful metals or chemicals, wear gloves and long-sleeved shirts and pants, or a full protective suit, to prevent skin absorption. Step 3 Clean up dust as it accumulates. Remove dust with vacuums, push brooms, wet and dry dusters, or spray hoses. Wash your hands, nails and face thoroughly before eating and before going home to protect yourself from consuming or inhaling dust. If your arms, hair or clothing have dust on them, shower and change your clothing at work, if possible, then wash your work clothing separately from your everyday clothes. Step 4 Store dust-producing materials in airtight containers in storage rooms and closets, rather than in staff work areas. For example, if you work in an office, seal old toner cartridges in airtight bags in supply closets to prevent toner from leaking into the air; or store dry cleaning supplies in airtight containers in cleaning closets. Step 5 Separate yourself from regularly used dust-producing equipment if possible. For example, if you work in an office and your desk is near printers, copiers or fax machines, request a desk away from the area to reduce toner and paper particle exposure. Recommend to your employer that he relocate printers and faxes away from desks or in a separate room.
